President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House could embolden Republicans who want to weaken or repeal the Affordable Care Act .

But implementing such sweeping changes would still require overcoming procedural and political hurdles.

The governing trifecta sets the stage for potentially seismic changes that could curtail the law’s Medicaid expansion and raise the uninsured rate.

Trump could initiate changes from his first day in the Oval Office through executive orders.

Executive orders are directives that have the force of law.

The administration could early on take other steps that work against the ACA , such as curtailing federal funding for outreach and help signing up for ACA plans.
